    Congrats on your engagement Poddle, nearly put an i instead of an o there, oops! That venue looks fab.

    Just seen on your blog Tete you'll be in Fort William, pity it wasn't next week, me and OH are going there for a couple of days then onto Mallaig, could've cheered you on. You are very brave, hope the weather is kind. I'd like to see wedding pics too Birdie, I'll send you a request as have Tete and Dinah already, if that's ok?!

    Hello everyone!

    Congratulations Poddle! The venue looks gorgeous - exactly the kind of thing I like. I can't wait to see pics of dresses and stuff! That goes for you too Lara! I also don't reckon it's gonna be long til Cinny gets hitched and I think that will be a fabulous wedding too! :D

    Tete, 750 poppies?! That will look amazing though if they all grow well! Sounds like you're doing so well with your walking - I so admire you for doing it.

    Dinah I can't wait to see the company launch!

    Birdie you looked gorgeous in your dress :) I'm so pleased that the dress fitted the other bridesmaid in the end, I really felt sorry for her.

    CMD that's a bit of a dilemma - I would say choose family over money. But that's just me :) You can earn another pound, but you can't earn another hour (as my great-grandad always said!)

    I hope Poppy is still sleeping better Wendz. I have been looking after the baby brother and he is exhausting. He's 16 months old and starting to have tantrums when he doesn't get his own way. He is very headstrong!

    My only news really is that I have officially passed everything for my degree and can graduate - yay! I'm still job-hunting. Me and OH have got our first joint account with Nationwide for the 95% mortgage deal thing. I just need a job!!

    Hope everyone is well and having a good week :)

    Thank you, it's definitely an amazing feeling! I thought I'd have loads of free time though but I'm still insanely busy so I know how you feel about being too tired and busy to focus on being MSE!

    Yep looking for teaching jobs. I was looking for permanent but I've now decided to look for temporary too as I'm getting panicky that I won't get a job! :(

    Tried again Tete and it's worked :) Dont know what was up last night though sorry!!
    Zig - what about supply teaching? I think you can do a certain amount while an NQT (if thats what you are!) and if you get a good supply of work I believe it can be quite lucrative...!

    Congratulations for passing Zig! There are so many things to be proud and happy about this week! :D Hope the job hunt goes well, what age group are you looking to teach?

    I think Cinny's wedding when it happens will be really cute, it'll be a bit like something off Rock and Roll bride! :) I'll be tempted to gatecrash since it's not that far away from me! ;)

    Accepted your friend request Swinstie, and sent one to CMD! :)

    I accepted it last night Birdie! I thought you looked brilliant in that dress :)

    I can't wait to see what Cinny's wedding dress is like. I am imagining something beautiful but quirky.

    Congrats Zig and best of luck with the job hunt!!!

    Yes, your right Birdie lots to be happy about on the thread this week.

    Wow it was busy on here last night!

    Congrats Poddle on your 'official' engagement - I thought you'd have had your ring ages! That venue looks brilliant, I would love to get married surrounded by farm animals :D Do you have a dress sorted or will it be DOTD time again?

    Congrats again on finishing uni Zig, I'm sure you'll have a job in no time! Enjoy your last summer of freedom, you'll soon be wondering how long til you can retire! :D

    Thanks so much for your donations girls! Tink I know that JustGiving site is a nightmare, when I used it for the RFL every time I tried to edit the inof on it it said the server was overloaded :angry:
